Compost Heap is Back!

The Recycle Beast is ready for your Morostide leftovers! Visit the Compost Heap in Riverside Valley to compost up to 75 accepted items a day from your inventory or vault.

At 50 composted, each account can pick one of six new Compostable Tea Bags. You can change your tea bag to any of the six forms from your inventory and in the new wardrobe, using the transform feature. You unlock them at 50, 125, 250, 425, 650, 925, 1,275, 1,625 composted.

Five new reactions and the Glade avatar border are awarded automatically as your composted total grows:

  • 75 composted: Torrey: Hi
  • 150 composted: Ruffie: Hello
  • 225 composted: Cinthia: Proud
  • 300 composted: Qazim: Grateful
  • 450 composted: Glade (avatar border)


The older item prizes return at 100, 350, 750, and 1,250 composted, with one pick at each milestone. There are also achievement reactions and community name plates to work toward.

The Prizes tab has the full reward list. Use Max beside an item to fill its quantity up to your remaining daily allowance.

Composting runs through November 30, and you can claim earned item prizes after the heap closes.

Could we, by any chance, get an option (checkbox, perhaps) to exclude items in our vault from the selection interface? If I've put something in my vault, it's because I don't want to accidentally get rid of it, so seeing those items here on the compost page--with only a small label to distinguish them from stuff I've left in my inventory to clear out--isn't great.

Or create separate sections for items in inventory versus items in vault.

Oooo - how fun! I like these kinds of "follow-up" events, where an overload of items like the free-floating pumpkins or excess candy can be useful in new ways once you've already hit your max with using them for their original purpose.

Just took a look and the prize page looks so good! I love how clearly everything is laid out, and how easy it is to understand/ track.

I haven't been around for a while, so I'm assuming this has been updated from previous iterations of the event - excited to explore it!

@Beldam i don't think it is going to change, as the beasts accepts all morostide food items right now.

@Keith thank you so much for the effort and the awesome rewards. i have another small suggestion, could there be a visible indicator on the prize page for items you have on your wishlist or is this impossible to code?

My son! I don't typically collect lurbies, but I adore this one and need to have all of them.
Beldam
Are the items the beast asks for going to change daily?

I was going to suggest don't make them edible, but that works too Fantine: BURNT
Thank you @Keith & Team for all the hard work you do! I cannot WAIT for the mushroom nameplate Jane: Sending love

This art is amazing, but after getting Pumpkin Deleter, I don't have nearly enough items to compost... Oopsie! 😅

StarShadow
If the compost goes for a few weeks it would be nice to have the link/button to it on the news page with the other buttons.
Thanks. Archan: Thumbs up

This is really cool! I like that there are community-wide unlocks, too, where all the composted items for all users contribute to milestones. Thanks for this new feature!

I'm just grateful for this image of the Recycling Beast. The one big tooth in the middle always bothers me.

@Evy
Ohhh, I didn't realize the teabags were all available if you chose just one. Very nice feature!!! Thank you for replying! <3

Holy cosmetic items!! The jar lantern and mushroom ring nameplates are so cute and the compost heap having an ANIMATED WORM(!) kills me. :sob: Killer QoL additions with the compost page pulling from all your available items and letting you compost the maximum amount from vaults/shops.

Hooray hooray! I’m so excited for composting! Thank you Keith!

The Glade border's so gorgeous, I can't wait to unlock it!!

BlueDragonfly
Very hype to have a way to get rid of all these super common moro items that isn't just fragging them all and get a bunch of cool stuff from it!
Jigglypuff
I came back from hiatus in 2025 so this is my first year getting to compost. I’m so excited!! I’ve been saving pumpkins all Moro!!

@Keith Thank you so much for changing it so we can earn multiple teabags and for doing it so quickly! I apologize for piling on too but I guess that kind of feedback is how you find out changes are needed. I didn't mean to make you feel bad after all your hard work on this feature though; I am really very sorry. Thank you for all you do for us! Tigrean: Sending love
I am completely happy with this now and can simply enjoy chucking pumpkins into the heap!

Suggestion: the prizes page doesn't show which items are on your wl Melody: Squee

Oops, my bad, the Recycle Beast: Happy is unlocked at the regular recycling
alienXing
Oh my gosh I am so happy! Thank you for making my reaction the first award. I am actually so honored and happy n.n

Recycle Beast is my favorite and I'm so excited to see the reaction around the site 😁

The best thing about this is that now anybody can unlock the Recycle Beast: Happy icon!!!!

i LOVE the tea bags. I love the adjustments to the compost heap. 10/10
Wildflower
Neat! I have /so/ many pumpkins to compost.
Damon
Thank you Keith for the change it's very much appreciated!
Aries
I am very determined to compost as I need all those teabags.
Phoenvix
Yay Keith!!!

I really want all the cat teabags from my feline gallery and one for my wardrobe so the unlocking at different tiers is a very welcome change!!! Thank you :D
brokensafety
Thank you for swiftly adding the ability to redeem past prizes! That's a huge relief!
Tucker
looks at my over 10k horde of pumpkins I don't have a problem at all... At least I'm not attached to them so I can compost them.
Keith STAFF
@Syfyri Oh good catch, they were miscategorized (and working on my dev). Should be in the list now!
Evy
Thanks for all the effort you put into this, Keith! A week building this is a massive amount of work. Recycle Beast: Smooch
I love the community projects, so composting needing everyone to chip in to reach a goal together are the things that build a community. (and complaining together, that too, lol)
Kat77
Ooh update as I compost. Love it.
I was just coming back to say, it looks like it changed!
@Keith, I appreciate you listening to feedback (I read the other comments), even if it IS the first day and it was disappointing to you for people to complain so much and so quickly...
I am one of those that will feed EVERYTHING to my Gourmand so I would need all 6 cats and would have been disappointed but also "Eh, guess I have to wait or buy for expensive amount at some point" and not complained.
They sure are cute, but I am not that big of a wardrobe person! :)
Keith STAFF
The tea bags now unlock at: 50, 125, 250, 425, 650, 925, 1,275, 1,625 composted (personal) items. Thanks for the feedback everyone, like always I'm going to try and improve things.
Moony
First composting event, keen to see all the available items! Recycle beast looks spooky
Keith STAFF
@brokensafety There is a "redeem from 2024" section now!
Zelorial
Everything is so adorable Feli: Blushing

Sorry for the pile-on Keith, it's just the knee-jerk reaction from most people as I know a lot of us like to collect everything so this kind of distribution for items with multiple uses just doesn't feel right (and I appreciate you for acknowledging that and coming up with ways to get more out).

For some more positive, the items themselves are really cute and I'm glad we can finally get those older items that never got released! It's also nice that the page tells us whether we're pulling from our vault or our inventory so we can make sure we're not getting rid of something we want to keep.
Evy
@DreamsInPink
Transformable items you can switch around in your wardrobe. So you can choose any of the other colour teabags and switch them around to wear as you please. (there are several other items that tranform as well - like the wigs in the monthly collections that have 2 versions)
Keith STAFF
@brokensafety No worries at all - your prizes are safe in a `compost-24` field in the database, so I'm figuring out how to make it so you can claim things from years past still, it'll be a little wonky but will work!
Keith STAFF
The distribution of the tea bags is going to change. I can't change it immediately, it takes programming and time. Putting them in the auction house takes a click, and I said in my post that it was the quickest and easiest thing I can do. It adds an additional 300 of them to the site economy right away (when the auctions end), and when we've done these bulk auctions in the past they tend to go for very reasonable prices.

I said I don't get it right first every time, and now these comments are just about this single failure which is a bummer for me, so I'm going to take a step away for a bit, the distribution will change soon.
brokensafety
@Keith Thank you! I already created the ticket, as I was panicking hardcore (especially with all this discussion about other limited prizes.) I have amended my ticket to disregard.
